Last weekend was a busy one...On the Friday I we both took the day off work, took the cats to the vet for their shots so they can go to the cattery, got our hair cut and then headed our separate ways.
Mike headed down to Taupo where he was entering the Cycle Challenge, a 160km ride around Lake Taupo.
...and I headed up to Auckland with renewed friend Amy ;) to see PEARL JAM!
It was AWESOME! Took me back to the teenage days locking myself in my bedroom getting mad at the world haha.... I'm so bad at driing in Auckland - I always have my human GPS Mike with me. I got lost about 3 times and had to call him to get us back on the right track.
Hands down best part of the concert was when Eddie Veder dedicated my favourite song to 'anyone from Te Awamutu'... ekk! Stoked.
After I'd been there, done that got the tshirt, we headed back to Hamilton were I crashed at my ma and pas. I can't remember the last time I ever stayed over at my parents and it was nice... mum sorted my breakfast and had my bed all made... nice. Mike pixt me this...
...from the start line (he was there at 7.45am and demanded that I not just drive all night and get there to watch him start) and mum was so impressed... ha ha.Then I jumped in the car and headed to Taupo to watch Mike come in over the finish line.


He did really well considering that 45km into it he got a puncture. The bike shop here had sold him the wrong innertube so he was gonna be stuffed BUT there happened to be a good Samaritan parked up were he got the flatty. This guy was in a relay team and had done his part and was just watching for his tams mates to fly by. He ran to his car and got out his spare innertube and gave it to Mike. What a top dude. He even grabbed out his big pump and did the tire up for Mike. It cost him 30mins but what an awesome display of the good in people.So his official time was 6.44... but we know that it was 6.14 really. Proud of my man.
Oh and Jesus was there too......
